I have a folder that have several groups and a few individual accounts that all are set with RWXD permissions and are to apply to all folders, subfolders, and files. However when a new file is put into this directory in question, not all the permissions from the folder are applied to it. I must manually push the permissions down to the files form the folder it's in. This isn't making much since to me as to why this is happening. Thanks in advance.

It appears that you (or users) are moving file from some other folder within the single partition. To avoid that issue, do one of the following: 1. Do not move files. Copy them to the destination folder and then Delete from the source. 2. configure HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer key, add value DWORD MoveSecurityAttributes = 0x00000000. However, this requires Users to have ChangePermissions right to the destination folder. Usually, I never give them more than Modify.
